The 5 Best Health Drinks On The Market -- How Many Have You Tried?

There's no question: Health drinks are trendy. It's why your local drugstore has more brands of coconut water than it does dish soap. And while this surge in wellness drinks is an undoubtedly good thing, it can be tough to know which actually deliver the many promises on their bottles and which are all... liquid.

From the best kombucha to our favorite meal replacement on the market, here are the health drinks that stood out to us after months of sampling:

People have long argued the benefits of kombucha, a fermented tea that contains natural probiotics (live bacteria that are especially good for your digestive system). And while the unusual taste can catch new drinkers off guard, it's effervescent texture leaves you fresh and energized. We love the flavors from Health-Ade, who recently lowered their prices to $3.99 in an attempt to bring kombucha to the masses. ProTip: Kombucha is also the ultimate hangover cure.

While detox drinks are hardly a new idea, Dirty Lemon made them even trendier when they unveiled a text only ordering process. Drink one bottle of their Detox each night before bed and let the activated charcoal concoction purify your body, calm your stomach and support liver and kidney functions. Just be careful to avoid taking any medications at the same time, as the high-performing charcoal can interfere.

This Beyonce-backed water brand hates vowels but loves watermelon, the only fruit as hydrating as coconut. We suggest the lemon version (spelled LMN), which combines the moisturizing melon with citrus-powered Vitamin C. The drink claims to boost collagen, support immune systems and protect bones, cartilage and teeth. It's also the best tasting (and possibly most hydrating) drink on this list.

Best Meal Replacement: Ample

People talk a big game about Soylent, a meal replacement whose inventor famously lived off of the thing for a year, but we prefer Ample. Not only does it taste better (and avoid earth-shattering bad breath), but it also places an emphasis on natural products. That it also comes in a bigger size also means you're left feeling full and satisfied.
